Bruce Jack Heritage Clean Slate Shiraz 2020

Rich & voluptuous aromas, lush layers of dark fruit & milk chocolate. Decadent ripe plum & a hint of black pepper on the palate.

All you really need for this wine is a magnificent view and an African sunset. Preferably in the bush, with the smell of wood fire smoke, baked red earth, crushed dried grass and the roar of a territorial lion in the distance.

ageing : Cellared respectfully this wine will develop gracefully for at least two decades after harvest.

in the vineyard : Shiraz grows like it wants to fly away – especially on the precarious slopes of our windswept mountain in the Overberg Highlands. This is a registered 0.45ha single vineyard wine, planted in shattered slate and granitic rock at an altitude of 420m above sea level.

in the cellar : Harvested at peak phenological ripeness, the grapes are gently destemmed into open-top fermenters with 15% whole clusters. Fermentation occurs naturally, without added yeast or enzymes, with the wine being gently hand-plunged 4-6 times daily. After fermentation, the wine is pressed using a traditional basket press and transferred directly to American and French oak barrels for 18 months of aging, with two rackings before bottling.
